In this paper, we present a method for quickly identifying the scan path chain of datapaths. The originality of the method resides in working with both RT and gate-level level descriptions of circuits. The proposed technique results in a very significant reduction on the CPU time required for scan path selection. We investigate also some directions for the incorporation of partial scan methodology within High Level Synthesis for Testability.

Index Terms:
